Chapter 223 Dimensity Processor

Song Yiming had long expected that Infinity Company would launch its own complete machine.

As the number one high-tech private company in the country, it has even mastered the core chips of computers. Will it be unable to manufacture accessories such as sound cards, graphics cards, and motherboards?

Even if they can't make it for the time being, there are a lot of domestic manufacturers to choose from.

But when he clicked on a post and took a look, he almost jumped up in shock!

Because what Infinity Company launched this time is not a 486 or 586 compatible chip, but a 64-bit processor!

The name of this processor is still known as "Dimensity 1"!

In a computer processor, this number of bits refers to the length of data that can be processed by a machine cycle, a clock pulse.

Because computers were first invented in the West, the eight-digit binary numbers used can just represent commonly used English letters.

Therefore, computer representation methods are usually expressed in multiples of eight.

For example, the early 8086 and 8088 microprocessors were all eight-bit machines.

286 chip is a sixteen-bit computer.

The 386, 486 and the current Pentium (586) launched by Intel are all 32-bit computers.

The 64-bit processor computer launched by Infinity Company this time is fully twice as powerful as Intel's processor!

In fact, CPU is not something difficult to make. Even if you have zero foundation, you only need to buy a few related books, such as: "Computer Principles", "Single Chip Microcomputer Architecture", "Instruction Collection", etc., and read it a few times.

I made my own eight-bit CPU.

But even if it is made, it will have little use value.

It is not difficult to build a CPU with a large manufacturing process. It mainly depends on the component spacing on the circuit board.

Because the essence of the CPU is just some simple circuits, but it is the biggest difficulty to integrate them highly.

Song Yiming quickly flipped through the posts.

According to the news from Infinity Company, the Dimensity processor uses 150nm manufacturing technology, which is slightly ahead of the Pentium 4 recently released by Intel in terms of manufacturing process.

This means that in a silicon chip of the same size, the Dimensity chip has a higher integration level than the Pentium 4.

However, Song Yiming found through the pictures on the post that the size of the Dimensity chip seemed to be smaller than Intel's chip, and the chip voltage was also slightly lower.

This means that their chips are, to some extent, more stable.

However, due to the different chip sizes, Dimensity chips can only be used on their special motherboards and are not interchangeable with Intel chips.

For this reason, Infinity Company also stated that if customers have no objections, the motherboard and processor will be sold in a bundle.

In terms of performance, both have their own merits.

While Infinite Company is compatible with the Intel x86 instruction set, it has also expanded its own instruction set by 64 bits.

Moreover, a lot of multimedia processing instructions have been added.

In this way, it can continue to be compatible with existing 32-bit software while adding more possibilities for subsequent expansion.

Even under the post, employees from Infinite Company revealed that they have made separate design optimizations for the characteristics of the Dimensity 64-bit processor.

If you play games, your fluency will be greatly improved!

However, Intel's 32-bit processors have always been known for their high quality and stability, and several generations of products have passed the test of the market.

When processing 32-bit programs, it can achieve a faster speed than the infinite Dimensity processor.

Which one of the two is better and which one is more suitable is really hard to tell clearly for a while.

Ordinary people judge from common sense that Intel is the dominant player in the personal computer field and has an absolute advantage unmatched by other companies in the personal computer market.

There are many softwares that support Intel technology.

Not to mention some supporting hardware manufacturers.

Many of their standards are based on Intel's technology.

Although the Dimensity processor launched by Infinity Company has great advantages in processing 64-bit data, if those software vendors do not support it, its effect will not be outstanding.

Even if a 64-bit processing method is used to speed up data processing, it will still be at most a tie with Intel.

For example, some industrial software, and even CNC machine tool programming software, use 32-bit processing, and their programs are very stable and mature.

It is too risky to develop software specifically for them!

This post that Song Yiming saw started a heated discussion on these two processors.

In terms of content, almost all netizens expressed their full praise for Infinite Company's ability to take the lead in launching the 64-bit concept and expanding the instruction set.

It is worthy of being the number one high-tech company in the country. It is always one step ahead in terms of concepts and technology.

But not many people are optimistic about its prospects.

Because going from 32-bit to 64-bit is not the biggest technical challenge. If Intel is willing, they can come up with their own 64-bit processor in a very short time.

What is certain is that if Intel launches its own 64-bit processor, it will definitely abandon the 64-bit extended instruction set developed by Infinity.

Make another one yourself.

When these two parties confront each other, it is self-evident which side those international software designers will support.

Many domestic professional media, computer experts, computer enthusiasts, and programmers have expressed their opinions.

Song Yiming randomly selected the posts of several computer experts and read them.

The post expressed its own views on the chip's architectural design, manufacturing process, instruction set, embedded 2MB cache and other aspects.

It is unanimously agreed that Infinite Company’s idea is bold, and the processor itself is extremely successful and excellent, but the future is also bumpy.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Next, he saw an expert's trial review of this processor on the website.

They compared the Dimensity chip provided by Infinite Company with the Pentium 4 chip, and used professional testing software to obtain a series of data.

Infinity's Dimensity processor is slightly inferior to Intel's chips in 32-bit programs.

Both parties also run a graphics software, and since the software itself is 32-bit, the Dimensity processor is slightly at a disadvantage when it comes to multi-layer rendering.

As for stability, there is not enough testing time, so comparison is not possible for the time being.

But in terms of entertainment, especially games, after Infinite Company’s 64-bit optimized version, its speed has obviously been greatly improved!

The effect is almost twice as strong as Intel’s!

As for Intel's Pentium 4 chip, this first-generation version cannot run 64-bit programs at all, so comparison between the two cannot be made.

Song Yiming had forgotten that he only had ten minutes left to get on the plane, and he would have to pay extra for more than that.

He greedily looked at one review report after another, carefully comparing the opinions expressed in each comment post.

Supporters of Infinite Corporation can be found everywhere here.

China’s first truly self-developed chip is on par with Intel’s latest processors. What a significance this is!

What is even more exciting is that domestic semiconductor technology has unknowingly caught up with the international mainstream level!

this means.

In the future, the semiconductor industry will not be decided by Western countries.
Chapter completed!
